“No one can predict to what heights you can soar until you spread your wings”

In our speech and language classes we “spread our wings” as we develop new ways to overcome obstacles and to reach our goal of using good communication. Students are scheduled for weekly individual or small group speech and language sessions. 

Here are Some Helpful Hints for Encouraging Speech and Language Skills at Home:

1. Use your own speech as a model.  Being aware of your own speech production, including grammar, helps your child improve and shows them the importance of "good speech".

2. Have your child practice their targeted speech sounds with you for at least 2-3 times per week.  Keep the practice sessions short.

3. Use a mirror so your child knows the placement of their articulators as they practice.

4. Stimulate language by talking to your child about daily events, taking day trips, playing word games, cooking and making crafts.  

5. Read together while discussing the meaning of new words and the events of the story.
